Steve
Jobs
popularized
the
saying
"Simplicity
is
the
ultimate
sophistication."
That
dictum
applies
in
spades
to
data
visualization.
The
best
visualizations
leverage
simple
design
principles
to
transmit
useful
intelligence
to
the
human
mind
without
delay
and
with
maximum
impact.
Data

draw
their
power
from
the
semi-conscious
interplay
among
human
perception,

Mathematics
is
not
a
hermetic
metaphysical
pursuit,
but
rather
a
field
where
researchers
craft
and
tweak
algorithmic
approaches
that
are
suited
to
various
problem
domains.
The
best
mathematicians
know
it's
a
dead-end
to
develop
new
approaches
with
any
or
all
of
these
limitations:
have

real-world
applications,

This

celebrated
its
237th birthday,
I

Junk
science
is
what
we
see
everywhere.
The
media
scoops
up
the
fruits
of
this
dubious
endeavor:
excited
researchers
rush
to
announce
"breakthroughs,"
"discoveries,"
and
other
"findings."
Never
mind
that
the
findings
may
never
be
replicated
and
thereby
confirmed
by
independent
investigators
running
their
own
tests,
using
their
own
data,
